Hello and Goodbye

Hello:

As I mentioned, it's Draft Day and as always the Newberg Report is following the 2008 Draft closely with Scott Lucas's e-mails as each pick is made, Jamey Newberg's analysis in his daily reports and my contribution: The Newberg Report Draft Page (all the information you've read somewhere else combined in one place).

Goodbye:

Jason Botts is headed to play baseball in the land of the rising sun for the Nippon Ham Fighters. I love and echo what Mike Hindman wrote on his blog entry for Jason today.

Going to the I-Hop in OKC will never be the same.

Thank you for all the tickets, the laughs and the memories.
